after prohibited in the college building
This decision was arrived at at the last
meeting of the fqca!ty, aud goes into
eiIec, Immediately. Early last spring
the director OF physical culture at The
university, DR.. /. William White, took
the matter mp, and at that time so
lar succeeded as to have smoking pre-
vented ON the university athletic
grounds, aud it is through his earnest
efforts that the present rule has been
adopted. Professor Francis a. Jackson,
secretary OF the faculty. said yesterday /:
" A rule IN every respect similar to the
present one was in force not long since,
and was only RENTED through the
leniency of the facnity, who then de-
cided tAat the students might smoke in
the assemb.y-room and restaurant AT
our last meeting this condescension was
Withdrawn, apd, by tue advice OF Dr..
White, positive rule to prohibit all

Origin OF slanting Roofs.

To find the source from which the
European nations have derived theart
of building in stone we must look to
the land of the Pharaohs. From Egypt
the craft passed to Greece, and from
the Greeks 1t was taken up by the
Romans, to be by them disseminated
through the north and west of Europe
in the process Of colonization. The
similarity, In regard to the constructive
parts Of the ancient Greek buildings,
to some Of those found in Egypt of
older date affords strong confirmation
of the tradition that the Greeks bor-
rowed the art from the Egyptians. The
Greeks, however, in adopting 1t added q
new feature, the pediment, and the
reason for this addition is easy to find.
Egypt is practically rainless. All the
protection from the climate required
in palace or temple in such country
is shelter from the sun by day and from
the cold by night, and for this fiat
roof supported by walls or pillars with
architraves is quite sufficient, but when
as in all European countries, rain has
to be taken into account, a slanting
roof becomes necessity. The Greeks,
with their eye for symmetry, provided
for this by forming the roof with a
central ridge at an obtuse angle, from
which It sloped down equally on either
side. The triangular space thus formed
at the end of the building above the
architraye was occupied by the pedi-
ment, and this part Of the facade, which
owed its birth to the exigencies of
climate, was thenceforth regarded as
so essential to the artistic complete
ness Of the work that 1t was said that
II q temple were to be erected in the
celestial regions, where rain would not
be possible, the pediment could not be
omitted.
